Ella Fitzgerald

INCLUDES 4 BONUS TRACKS:

This edition presents the complete classic album Ella Swings Lightly (MGVS6029), which was the first of Ella Fitzgerald's very few collaborations with the great conductor and arranger Marty Paich. All of the music recorded during those 1958 sessions has been included here, as well as four rare tunes also featuring Ella with Marty Paich. Although the band for Ella Swings Lightly is presented on the original cover as an "orchestra", it is in fact a tentet featuring such superlative musicians as Don Fagerquist, Bud Shank, Bill Holman, Med Flory, Lou Levy, Joe Mondragon and Mel Lewis.
